BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end TE1
ANALYSIS: Kyle Pitts has been a major disappointment for fantasy football managers this season, and Week 4 may have been the most frustrating yet. Despite seeing three targets, Pitts recorded zero catches, continuing a season where he has totaled just eight receptions and one touchdown.
This lack of production is alarming for a player many expected to be a top-tier tight end, and patience is wearing thin among fantasy owners. If Pitts doesn’t start producing soon, this could be the last straw for many managers, who may look to move on in search of more reliable options.
What makes this situation even more concerning is that it’s been a historically bad year for tight ends overall, with few players at the position offering consistent value. This adds even more pressure on Pitts to turn things around as tight end production across the league struggles.
Desperate fantasy managers could consider starting Pitts in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but this might be his final chance to prove he’s worth a roster spot.
After a zero-catch performance, one would imagine the Falcons will make a conscious effort to get him more involved in the offense. Tampa Bay's defense has shown vulnerability against tight ends this season, making this a potential bounce-back opportunity for Pitts.

While it’s difficult to trust him right now, his upside and the possibility of increased targets make him a risky but startable option for Week 5.
Given how thin the tight end position has been across the board, Pitts still holds enough potential to be worth a gamble, but if the Falcons don’t find a way to utilize him more effectively, this could be the breaking point for fantasy managers.
